High-Precision Tungsten Isotopic Analysis by Multicollection Negative Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry Based on Simultaneous Measurement of W and 18O/16O Isotope Ratios for Accurate Fractionation Correction
(ACS Publications, 2016-01-11)
Determination of the 182W/184W ratio to a precision of ±5 ppm (2σ) is
desirable for constraining the timing of core formation and other early planetary
differentiation processes. However, WO − ...
182W and HSE constraints from 2.7 Ga komatiites on the heterogeneous nature of the Archean mantle
(Elsevier - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2018)
While the isotopically heterogeneous nature of the terrestrial mantle has long been established, the origin, scale, and longevity
of the heterogeneities for different elements and isotopic systems are still debated. Here, ...
In search of late-stage planetary building blocks
(Elsevier - Chemical Geology, 2015)
Genetic contributions to the final stages of planetary growth, including materials associated with the giant Moon forming
impact, late accretion, and late heavy bombardment are examined using siderophile elements. Isotopic ...
Widespread tungsten isotope anomalies and W mobility in crustal and mantle rocks of the Eoarchean Saglek Block, northern Labrador, Canada: Implications for early Earth processes and W recycling
(Elsevier - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2016)
Well-resolved 182W isotope anomalies, relative to the present mantle, in Hadean–Archean terrestrial rocks have been interpreted to reflect the effects of variable late accretion and early mantle differentiation processes. ...
